A certain genetic characteristic of a particular plant can appear in one of three forms (phenotypes). A researcher has developed a theory, according to which the hypothesized proportions are p1 = 0.25, p2 = 0.50, and p3 = 0.25. A random sample of 200 plants yields X2 = 4.88.

(a)

Carry out a test of the null hypothesis that the theory is correct, using level of significance α = 0.05. (Use technology. Round your answer to four decimal places.)

P-value =

State the conclusion in the problem context.

Fail to reject H0. There is convincing evidence that the researcher's theory is incorrect.Reject H0. There is not convincing evidence that the researcher's theory is incorrect.    Fail to reject H0. There is not convincing evidence that the researcher's theory is incorrect.Reject H0. There is convincing evidence that the researcher's theory is incorrect.

(b)

Suppose that a random sample of 300 plants had resulted in the same value of X2. How would your analysis and conclusion differ from those in part (a)?

The previous analysis did not yield a significant result and the null hypothesis failed to be rejected. The new analysis would yield a significant result and the null hypothesis would be rejected.The analysis and conclusion would not change.    The previous analysis yielded a significant result and the null hypothesis was rejected. The new analysis would not yield a significant result and the null hypothesis would fail to be rejected.

MY NOTES

PRACTICE ANOTHER

A particular article reported the accompanying data on phenotypes resulting from crossing tall cut-leaf tomatoes with dwarf potato-leaf tomatoes. There are four possible phenotypes: (1) tall cut-leaf, (2) tall potato-leaf, (3) dwarf cut-leaf, and (4) dwarf potato-leaf.

Phenotype
1 2 3 4
Frequency 927 289 291 105

Mendel's laws of inheritance imply that p1 =

. Are the data from this experiment consistent with Mendel's laws? Use a 0.01 significance level. (Assume that the sample is representative of all such tomato plants.)

State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses.

Ha: H0 is not true.

H0: p1 ≠ 927, p2 ≠ 289, p3 ≠ 291, p4 ≠ 105

Ha: H0 is not true.

Find the test statistic and P-value. (Use technology. Round your test statistic to three decimal places and your P-value to four decimal places.)
